Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Clear Lake Volcanic Field
Mount Konocti, seen here beyond the southern shore of Clear Lake, is the largest feature of the Clear Lake volcanic field in the northern California Coast Ranges. The volcanic field contains lava dome complexes, scoria cones, and maars. It is located far to the west of the Cascade Range. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1997 (Smithsonian Institution).

The late-Pliocene to early Holocene Clear Lake Volcanic Field in the northern Coast Ranges contains lava dome complexes, cinder cones, and maars of basaltic-to-rhyolitic composition. The westernmost site of Quaternary volcanism in California, this volcanic field is in a complex geologic setting within the San Andreas transform fault system. Mount Konocti, a composite dacitic lava dome on the south shore of Clear Lake, is the largest volcanic feature. Volcanism has been largely non-explosive, with only one major airfall tuff. The latest eruptive activity, forming maars and cinder cones along the shores of Clear Lake, continued until about 9,000 years ago. A large silicic magma body provides the heat source for the Geysers, a geothermal field with a complex of electrical power plants.
